Hey, I was looking for an answer!!!! On the question about Bomberman and PS3 I need more then that. WHEN can we expect it ? ? ? ? - hey just get me Saturn Bomberman and ship it. I think your driving me out of my mind. PS3 owners demand it. PS3 is awesome but it lacks party games. HUDSON is slacking on this title. You did it on the PS2 don’t make the same mistake on PS3. I’ve been playing this game since Desert Storm don’t make me go back to get it.

No offense but this interview stunk. Basically nothing but glorified no comments. The questions were fine but the answers pretty much say nothing.

@jeffx - Yes, this interview was conducted way before the departure of Mr. Greiner. We are working on something else with them though…

There’s no point in bringing out the DS games at $30+ each if the virtual console port of YsI+II comes out, since it is superior in every way, especially in price. Sure maybe the new ports have some nifty features but we’re looking at around 25K sales at most.

Now what the hell takes so long in _evaluating_ the release of a 20 year old game that should appear on the VC just by snapping fingers? They know they’ll sell enough “copies” to cover their costs (what costs?) If fans are asking for it, why not just give it right away? Can someone explain why it seems SO HARD to get anything out on the VC?

But what would be REALLY interesting would be to see Hudson team up with Nihon Falcom for all of the recent Ys games AND Ys 7. It’s absolutely unjust that America isn’t seeing any of these top quality games.

A question I’m surprised you didn’t ask is How will the departure of John Greiner affect Hudson USA (I’m assuming you did this interview before the announcement) This guy was monumental in the dev. of Hudson USA and I’m not sure if they can get back on their feet after this terrible loss.

IMHO they need to look into original IP, not terrible remakes or ports galore or WiiSports-clones. My childhood was marked by a creative Hudson Soft that pumped out some of the best games on THE #1 console that ever existed as far as I’m humbly concerned.

If anyone is going to republish the game with the proper translation it’s going to be them. By: thaKingRocka thaKingRocka — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:16:47 +0000 but isn’t Ys a nihon falcom property too?

Other companies may pick them up though. Perhaps… Rising Star? @Caliban - Maybe not hopeless, but Hudson won’t be doing it since Faxanadu is actually a Nihon Falcom property.
